VE Day
« on: 07 May 2020, 10:41:15 »
My sister and I were in front, and to the left as you look, of Buck house to see the Royal family and Winston come out on the balcony to acknowledge the cheering crowds. Although only 9, it made a big impression on me. A lovely family friend took us, and lifted us on to a pillar of some sort so that we could see. Very impressive even at that age. :y

Historically and nationally a very important date to remember.But it should not be forgotten that many were still suffering and dying in the war against Japan,I wonder if as much will be made of VJ Day?

Lots of Union flags hung outside houses on our street, but a few people have England flags hung out, which I find a little bemusing.

Same here. A few England flags and even a white rose flag. If it's all you've got, I suppose.......

Would a Swiss flag be inappropriate?

Asking for a friend  ::)

It was a joke Dave, but I don't have smilies. Sorry if it came across as me seriously having the hump.
Ive just noticed it was a white flag. I just read French flag and posted a reply.
